An IoT based approach for EV charging Station Locator

The electrification of the transportation sector is one of the viable solutions in minimizing the carbon emissions over the atmosphere; the transportation’s consistent growth using Batteries has improved since they are becoming a prominent form of electric energy storage for Electric Vehicles (EVS). Due to the rapid growth of EV’s in the market, Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure will be a primary need. The identification of nearby EV Charging Station (EVCS) and proper planning is important for an EV owner to travel over a long distance. The proposed work focus on design and development of Internet of Things (IoT) based smart SOC level monitoring system for Electric Vehicles with minimal human intervention/which plays a vital role in transportation systems. Here, IoT based smart SOC level monitoring system allows to know the status of battery and alert the user to continue the journey or go to the nearby charging station according to the directions given by Android Application.
